Ancient names of the Yellow River: Mother River, River and Turbid River in China.
The Yangtze River originates from the "roof of the world" of the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-southwest of Dongfeng, and is the mother river of the Chinese nation. The main stream flows through Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai 1 1 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and flows into the East China Sea east of Chongming Island.
It has a total length of more than 6,300 kilometers, more than 800 kilometers longer than the Yellow River, ranking third in the world after the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America. However, the Nile Valley spans nine African countries, the Amazon Valley spans seven South American countries, and the Yangtze River is unique to China.
The Yellow River is a big river in the north of China, with a total length of about 5,464 kilometers and a drainage area of about 752,443 square kilometers. One of the longest rivers in the world, the second longest river in China.
Zhaqu, which originated in the southern foot of ChaHasila Mountain in bayan har branch of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, originated in the northern foot of Gegeya Mountain in bayan har branch in the south, and Yueguzong music originated in the western part of Xingsuhai in the west.
It is shaped like a "few" and flows from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.
The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are dominated by mountains, while the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau in China and carries a lot of sediment, it is also called the river with the largest sediment concentration in the world. However, in the history of China, the diversion of the lower Yellow River has brought great influence to human civilization.
Extended data:
The ancient Yangtze River was formed in ancient times, and most of the Yangtze River basin was submerged by seawater. During the Triassic period 200 million years ago, the Yangtze River basin was still occupied by the ancient Mediterranean Sea (Tethys Sea). At that time, Tibet, Qinghai, western and central Yunnan, and western Guizhou were all Wang Yang Sea. Western Hubei is a huge bay protruding eastward from the ancient Mediterranean, extending to the middle of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River today.
The southern half of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is also submerged at the bottom of the sea, and the northern part of the middle and lower reaches of North China and Northwest China and the eastern part of Eurasia are relatively high. Indosinian orogeny occurred at the end of Triassic1-800 million years ago. At that time, Kunlun Mountain, Kekexili Mountain, bayan har Mountain and Hengduan Mountain began to appear, the southern half of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River rose to land, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau began to appear.
Between Hengduan Mountains, Qinling Mountains and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, fault basins and depressions are formed. At the same time, Yunmengze, Xichang Lake and Dianhu Lake are connected in series, flowing from east to west through the Nanjian Strait in western Yunnan and flowing into the Mediterranean Sea, which is opposite to the current direction of the Yangtze River.
